Perspectives On The Book Of Judges (Biblical Perspectives)

The book of Judges is a very unique book, filled with theological content. God's desire for Israel was that, Israel should worship and serve the Lord and rid itself of idolatry and faithfully follow the Lord and His given principles and laws. The book of Judges thus presents to us a gloomy picture of Israel's spirituality as it constantly forsook the Lord and went after strange gods. Several cycles of sin, judgment, repentance and salvation are replete in the book. The author of this series on Biblical Perspectives takes us a little further into the book, helping the contemporary believer understands God's will, plan and purpose for the Church in this generation. Drawing from his over three decades of pastoral ministry, Dr. Cornwell Piyo brings the message of Judges to life as he seeks to lead us into a deeper understanding of the purposes of God for our lives. It is time for restoration, renewal and revival among God's people. Unless the church looks honestly at itself and have self-examination, the church will remain lethargic and formal, seeking the good of the world as its intended goal. However, God calls us to higher life and higher purposes. When leaders of churches fail to lead their people into God centred purposes, the people lead themselves in worldliness. The book of Judges tells us that there was no king in Israel and everyone did what was right in his own eyes. Likewise, when the church dethrones the King Jesus with its numerous programs and activities that does not bring glory to God, we are the same with ancient Israel, weakening and compromising our spiritual relationship with God. This book is a challenge and a call to spiritual renewal among God's people. With a pastoral passion, the author challenges us to fan our relationship with God and turn away from worthless things. Our mission and focus should be God and His will for us. Will you heed his call to worship and serve him only? Will you give him the pre-eminence in your life?
